One phone message, and Claude Code logged them into World of Warcraft
One message from a phone through Claude Code's Dispatch: boot World of Warcraft and log in to a specific character. Claude Code opened Battle.net, launched the game, waited out the login and picked the character.

“You hop on your PC, and sure enough, Claude has gone through the process of opening Battle.net, booting World of Warcraft, waiting through the login process, then selecting your chosen character and logging in as them. Sound good? Well, that's exactly what it did for me, and I love it.”

What they did
During a week of trying Claude Code on jobs that aren’t coding, they used its Dispatch feature, which connects a phone to a PC so Claude Code can do a job and report back. From their phone, they asked it to boot up World of Warcraft and log in to a specific character.
How it went
Claude Code opened Battle.net, booted World of Warcraft, waited through the login process, then selected the chosen character and logged in as them, before reporting back that it was done.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Set up [Claude Code]'s remote dispatch feature so you can message it from your phone with a task, such as "open [an app or game], start it, and log in as [a specific profile or character]", then have it report back once the job is complete or if it runs into a problem.
A starting prompt written by Agents in the Wild. Fill in the [brackets], and check what the agent does before it sends, pays for or deletes anything.
WhatsApp has no native way to schedule messages, and the writer didn't want third-party apps in their chats. Claude Code built a scheduler using a headless browser, and a recurring message now goes out every morning.
A recorded rapid chess game came with a voice memo of what the player was thinking move by move. Claude drove Stockfish to question each thought and built a narrated video explaining the mistakes.
They never had the time or energy for the backlog. Claude Code writes small, deterministic programs that do the work, and most of the scripts they'd wanted for years now exist.
Always-on agents are overkill for a schedule. Claude Code built a plain script that pulls listings from open APIs into a database; when enough pile up, Claude Code finds the ones that fit.
Onboarding onto a new project means a stream of unstructured thoughts. They dictate them, and Claude Code tags and links everything in Obsidian. Weeks later, "What did I do yesterday?" just works.
